If I Joined To the DWMA
I ran up the flight of stairs as fast as I could, not wanting to be late on my first day at this awesome school. Barely a week ago, the Kishin was defeated and everything was back to normal, almost. There was an article in the newspaper saying that the DWMA students Maka Albarn, Death the Kid, Black Star, Soul Evans, Tsubaki, Elizabeth Thompson, and Patricia Thompson were the ones who defeated the evil bastard. I decided to join to help the world and to put my ten years of martial arts lessons to good use.
Once I got to the top of the stairs I slammed into someone and we both fell down, hitting the pavement hard. When I came to my senses, I realized that I had accidently knocked over Death the Kid. "I am so sorry," I quickly apologized and got off of him.
"No worries," he reassured me getting up to help me pick up my scattered school supplies. When he looked up to see if I was ok, he frowned and fixed my hair. "Better. Now you're symmetrical," he said with a weird half-smile. "I'm Death the Kid, but most people call me Kid."
"River Styx. I don't really have a preference for which one I'm called by," I said with a smile. I picked up my belongings then he helped me to my feet. It was the n that I stole a glance at the infamous school that is known for the meisters and weapons that come from it. "Wow. It's so …" I am completely at a loss for words to describe how magnificent and huge the building was.
"Symmetric," Kid supplied, looking in awe at his father's school.
"I was going to say huge, but that works to." I turned to him and very shyly ask "DO you, by chance, know were class crescent moon is."
"Yeah, that's the class me and my friends are in. I'll see if I can get permission from Professor Stein to show you around the school." He then led me into the school and we went around so many twists and turns until we got to a door with a sign that read "Class Crescent Moon". We went in and there was a weird guy in a lab coat with a stitch pattern on it. Even weirder was the fact that the guy had a bolt sticking through his head that he would turn frequently. "Professor Stein, is it ok if I showed the new girl around campus," Kid said as soon as he was close to him.
"Sure, but you're going to miss an exciting lesson," Professor Stein said with little excitement in his voice.
Kid walked back over to where I was standing and when we were about to leave I heard someone shouting "I am the amazing Black Star. Hahaha. I have surpassed God and defeated the Kishin. Hahaha." In the direction the words were coming from, a boy with blue spiked hair came around a corner laughing, being trailed by a raven haired girl, whose hair was up in a ponytail. When the blue haired boy notice Kid he came running over to give him a high-five with both hands. "Hey Kid, Who's the raven haired beauty?"
"I'm River Styx," I said, introducing myself to the weird boy standing in front of me.
"I bet you came here for my autograph, didn't you," he said pulling out a sharpie and piece of paper "My names Black Star and this is my weapon Tsubaki."
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Tsubaki said, bowing slightly. Then she straitened as a white haired boy and dirty blond pigtailed hair girl came up to us.
"Hi. I'm Maka and this is weapon partner, Soul," the pigtailed girl said with a smile.
I smiled back. "I'm River Styx," I said and stared as two girls who were obviously related in some way come around a corner and smile at the group that had started to gather around the classroom door.
"Hey kid, who's the new chick," the taller of the two asked.
"She's the student Father told us about, River Styx. I'm going to show her around during first period. River, these are my weapons Liz and Patty Thompson." He looked at me and he got a weird look on his face, "Of course we still need to find you a weapon partner. What's your preference in weapons?"
"I have been training in Martial Arts since I was six and my parents bought me a katana set when I was ten to help me if I ever decided to join this prestigious academy. So I guess katanas." I looked down at my feet fidgeting nervously.
"Okay. That's good because we have a set of katana's fresh out of the NOT class. The only problem is that they are twins and have only paired up with each other like Liz and Patty before they became mine," Kid explained and started down the hall after saying good-by to his friends. "All we have to do is inform my father about your weapon choice and set up a meeting so that you can match soul wavelengths and see if you are compatible with each other."
He took me around the school, showing me the library, cafeteria, balcony, infirmary, and the many passageways to get to wherever it was that I wanted to go. He also, for some strange reason, informed me to never go hunting for the legendary sword of Excalibur. After a few more twists and turns, we came to the huge doors with skull shaped door knobs. "This is the Death Room. It's where my father spends most of his time. I am bringing you here because you will have to report to him every time you complete a mission. You can either come to the Death Room or draw 42-42-564 on any mirror or reflective surface to call him."
"Is it ok to enter your father's office without a note or special request to do so?"
"Yes. If you're with me and I say it's ok," he said as he pushed the doors opened and stepped back for me to enter first. I didn't know what to expect of Lord Death's office, but what greeted me was most definitely not it. There was a line of guillotines and standing at the end of them was a mirror with a black cloaked figure standing in front of it talking to a zombie.
When the figure heard us approaching he turned around to show us a white skull mask with Black empty whole where his eyes and mouth should have been. "What's up Kiddo," he asked Kid in a chipper voice that would have made me visibly cringe if I was standing in front of anyone else. How could someone be that happy this early in the morning?
"Not much. This is that new student you were telling me about last night. She says she wants katanas as here weapon choice and on the way here I suggested that new pair that just got upgraded to the EAT class. Can you tell them to come down here?"
"Sure. What were their names again?"
"Angel and Acheron Palmer."
"Ok. Just give me a minute to get their information and call them down."
It took about thirty minutes before the twins finally made it down to the Death Room. And it turns out that they were identical twins in every way. They both had jet black hair and eyes the deepest blue I have ever seen. The only differences were their wardrobe choices. While one was dressed in blue jeans, converse and a white t-shirt, the other's dress choice closely matched mine, black leather pants, steel toed combat boots, black shirt, and a leather motorcycle jacket. "This is Angel and Acheron," Kid said pointing to the dark dressed one then the light dressed one as he said their names. "Angel, Acheron, this is River Styx. She's a new meister here and needs a weapon. She wants to be a katana meister and I suggested the two of you."
"Where cool with it," they both said simultaneously, holding their hands out to me in greeting. I shook their proffered hands and we made plans to meet at Death Bucks Café to try and match soul wavelengths and get to know each other. After that, they went back to their classes and went about their school day until the final bell rung to go home.
